"Then it was Charlie?" Marcia bit her lip and then yawned. "Oh, let's change the subject, Omar. I'll pull a snore in this chair in a minute." "Yes," replied Horace gravely, "Hume has often been considered soporific " "Who's your friend and will he die?" Then of a sudden Horace Tarbox rose slenderly and began to pace the room with his hands in his pockets. This was his other gesture.
Is he come in, do you say? Vand. He is, but followed So slenderly and poore. Leid. We are undon then; He knowes too well what ground he ventures on. Where are the Arminian Soldiers? R. Giles. They stand ith' market place. Leid. Are they well armd? R. Giles. Ready to entertaine him. Leid. Who commaunds the Port? Vand. The English. Leid. Ten towsand devills!
In physique he was quite unlike his father; tall, well but slenderly built, with a small finely-shaped head, large grey-blue eyes and brown hair. The delicacy of his complexion and the lines of his figure did not suggest strength, yet he walked with a very firm step, and his whole bearing betokened habits of healthy activity.
It was a cage, for all the world like that of an elevator except that it was made of clear glass. Another second and it had stopped, with its floor level with the surface; and the people from the earth saw that it contained a man. He was quite tall, slenderly built, and dressed in a queer satiny material which fitted him like an acrobat's suit.

Perfect horsemanship is usually the special accomplishment of the man who is not otherwise worth his salt, by reason of being too lazy for manual labour, and too slenderly upholstered on the mental side for anything else.
"What do you fellows think of Australians as fighters?" I asked the question carelessly, but the answer that I got brought me to my bearings quickly, for then I learnt that more than one gallant Australian officer dear to me had fallen, never to rise again, since I had been taken prisoner. The man who spoke was little more than a lad, a pale-faced, slenderly built son of the veldt.
The two Knights, at either end, gravely fronted each other; they made the courtesies with their lances, which, in friendly and sportive encounters, were customary; and, as they thus paused for the signal of encounter, the Italians trembled for the honour of their chief: Montreal's stately height and girth of chest forming a strong contrast, even in armour, to the form of his opponent, which was rather under the middle standard, and though firmly knit, slightly and slenderly built.
He saw before him a slenderly built, fashionably dressed figure, surmounted by clear-cut, smooth-shaven features a man of thirty, possibly, decidedly aristocratic, perfectly self-controlled, his eyes cool, calculating, his hands swift, unhesitating in play.
She was upwards of forty, nowise remarkable for grace or beauty; tawdry in her dress; accustomed to render more conspicuous the traces of age by her attempts to hide them; the mother of a numerous family, with a mind but slenderly cultivated; always careful to save appearances; studiously preserving distance with my husband, and he, like myself, enduring rather than wishing her society.
